The Micro-Sociology of Networks
This is a very good slide presentation on how networks and sociology. According to David Armano, though technology doesn't change human nature, it changes human behaviour, because it gives us the capacity to communicate effortlessly and instantly. This gives rise to networks, and networks have come increasingly take the place of institutions in the function of major roles in society. Don't miss this; it's lavishly illustrated with diagrams that will make much clearer and intuitive some of the more complex concepts often discussed in these pages.
